3. C Programming examples on “String Matching”

String matching algorithms try to find a place where one or several strings are found within a larger string or text. Rabin-Karp Algorithm is a string that uses hashing to find any one of a set of pattern strings in a text. Naive String Matching algorithm is optimized for the cases when all characters of pattern are different. Boyer-Moore Algorithm performs the matching from right to left. Knuth–Morris–Pratt string searching algorithm searches for occurrences of a word within a main text string. The C programs in this section deals with the implementation of string search algorithms for short text sizes, knuth-morris-pratt algorithm, z algorithm, aho-corasick and boyer-moore algorithm for string matching, rabin-karp method, naive, commentz-walter algorithm, zhu–takaoka for string matching.

4. C Programming examples on “Approximate String Matching”

Levenshtein algorithm calculates the least number of edit operations that are necessary to modify one string to obtain another string. Brute-Force Approach checks whether every single character from the text to match against the pattern. Wagner–Fischer algorithm is a dynamic programming algorithm that measures the Levenshtein distance between two strings of characters. The C programs in this section demonstrates the implementation of algorithms like bit parallel algorithm, hirschberg’s clever recursive, brute-force approach, levenshtein distance computing algorithm, wagner and fisher algorithms for approximate string matching.

5. C Programming examples on “Cryptography”

Cryptography is a method of storing and transmitting data in a particular form, scrambling plaintext into ciphertext is known as encryption. Caesar Cipher Encryption algorithm is the simplest of all, where every character of the message is replaced by its next 3rd character. One time pad cipher Input is not case sensitive and works only for all characters, White spaces are not ignored but are produced as random characters in the decoded message. MD5 hashing algorithm is a one-way cryptographic function that accepts a message of any length as input and returns as output a fixed-length message. RSA is one of the first practicable public-key cryptosystems and is widely used for secure data transmission. Monoalphabetic cipher uses fixed substitution over the entire message. Hill cipher is a polygraphic substitution cipher based on linear algebra. Vigenere Cipher is a method of encrypting alphabetic text. The C programs in this section demonstrates the implementation of caesar cipher, playfair cipher, one time pad algorithm, md5 algorithm, rsa algorithm, monoalphabetic cypher, hill cypher, vigenere and affine ciphers.
